As a young boy growing up in a modest part of Moscow, Nikita Mishin witnessed firsthand the transformative power of extraordinary teachers in raising their students' aspirations beyond their challenging circumstances. This experience kindled a lifelong passion for learning in Mishin and a determination to extend educational opportunities to those in need. Even as he forged a successful career in logistics, Mishin never relinquished his dream of educational philanthropy. He established an educational foundation in 2005 and opened a school in 2017. Having sold his stake in Globaltrans, the freight-rail company he co-founded, Mishin is now dedicated entirely to education.
